Doom and Gloom: Terrorists Given American Rights

12 June 2008 No Comment

The Supreme Court ruled today 5-4 that Congress had not validly taken habeas rights from “foreign nationals” held at Guantanamo Bay. The essential effect is that potential terrorists will get treated more like American citizens.

Ugh. It’s a cliche to say that the left is anti-American, but it’s hard to classify this kind of ruling as anything else. Said Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia:

The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.

Well said.
